What do you think about the 15 British soldiers and marines that were released from Iran's hands?Of course I'm so happy that our prayers have been answered and these 15 people are safe.But why were they taken ?Was there something more behind all this?
What are your thoughts

thank goodness they were released..i think they were taken just so Iran could prove they had the power to do it...i think they are trying to flex their muscles and want the other countries to back down on the nuclear manufactoring sanctions...i think they could be a very dangerous threat to the world if we are not careful...

I watched live on television as the 15 sailors and marines landed at Heathrow and boarded 2 helicopters to be taken to a base in Devon to be reunited with their friends and family and to be debriefed! They later said in a press conference that they had been surrounded and did not want to fight their way out of it and start another international conflict! I was so worried that it was a flashpoint that would start even more trouble in a part of the world already neck deep in conflict and troubles! I feel Iran are flexing their muscles and testing the waters to see what the international reaction will be! This really frightens me and I hope that I am on the wrong track this time!
I would just also say that I cried as I saw the 14 men and 1 woman arrive home safely! xxx

I really am not sure about it but I am sure these Soldiers might be able to tell us as I have a strange feeling they have been let go with a Message
I am so happy that they have let them go
I just wish it would all stop so many lifes are being destroyed and ruined through all this

Yep, a nice peaceful solution from the Brits and usual slimy behaviour from the Iranians.
14 men and 1 woman captured, accused of straying into Iranian territory,
You don't have to be Einstein to work out who was navigating
all the best urban

Yes I checked that out on Reuters.
Iran sure is doing all the wrong possible things at the wrong point of time.
They should understand that nations across the globe are keeping eyes on what Iran is upto. I think this was a strange "Propaganda". But, I fail to understand what Iran tried to gain out of this one.
But, I still feel...... invading Iran is not what the World wants at this point of time.

I think that guy from Iran is crazy myself, who knows what he was doing it for. The marines claim they were in iraqi waters not iranian.
